So to me, that entire hypothetical calculation is nothing more than a red herring.
not at all a red herring....i stayed here last year for 3 nights for under $750 a night....my wife & i are considering staying here again next year for my birthday & the rate i am getting is $720 a night....i have also seen $900-$1,000 rates quite regularly....
also, post # 351 states what the property is quoting for meals per person....breakfast is about $45 per person, lunch is about $75 per person & dinner is about $140 per person....so even if you get free breakfast as a plat, you still end up paying $430 for 2 meals for 2 people ($520 if you don't get free plat breakfast)....activities are also around $70 per person so including that you end up paying upwards of $650 a night for 2 people....
